Sarcous Singes

Soggy sopping skin,

Slits downturned,

Secreting its shame

Shame that stretched across the water

Simmering silently,

From the soggy sopping skin,

That sags around its splitting.

Shame smiles out,

Singing its muffled song.

Skin that splits,

Steering the smile sour.

It salivates its spoils.

The stream draws the sienna clear.

Sowing its spoils to its throat,

Slurp, slurp, slurp

To its spoiled throat,

Sip, sip, sip

Shame has thickened out clear,

Screeching under that solemn skin,

Its saccadic hiss,

Welcoming its finite saltus,

As the far throat cheers,

Slurp slurp slurp.
